Total domestic value added embodied in total exports of other EU-27 countries, relative to total Spanish exports. (Forward participation)

Scope
International trade
Action line
Domestic Value Added
Description
Measures the share of total domestic value added from Spain embodied in the exports of EU-27 countries relative to the total exports of Spain.
Observations

Example: The value added generated in the Spanish economy and embodied in the exports of other EU-27 countries represented 14.88% of Spain’s total exports in 2023. In the specialised literature, this is referred to as the forward participation of the Spanish economy.

Calculation method

\(\frac{\text{sum indicator 6}}{\text{sum}(e^{ES})} = \frac{\sum_{\substack{z \neq s}} v^{\text{ES}} C^{(s)ES, z} A^{z,s} L^{s} e^{s}}{\sum \left( e^{\text{ES}} \right)}\times 100\)

Where: \(\sum_{\substack{z \neq s}} v^{\text{ES}} C^{(s)ES, z} A^{z,s} L^{s} e^{s}\) represents the total domestic value added embodied in the total exports of other EU-27 countries, and \(e^{\text{ES}}\) is the total exports of Spain.
